Laigin
The Laigin, modern spelling Laighin (), were a Gaelic population group of early Ireland. They gave their name to the Kingdom of Leinster, which in the medieval era was known in Irish as ''Cóiced Laigen'', meaning "Fifth/province of the Leinstermen" (Modern Irish Cúige Laighean), where their descendants ruled till the 17th century. Their territory, located in south-east Ireland, is thought to have once extended from the River Shannon to the River Boyne. The surnames of those descended from the Laigin are still counted amongst the most numerous in Ireland. Etymology Laigin is a plural noun, indicating an ethnonym rather than a geographic term, but the Irish system of naming territories meant that an area tended to be named after an apical ancestor-figure even when the ruling dynasty had no links to that figure. The origin of their name is uncertain; however, it is traditionally assumed to derive from the Irish word ', meaning 'a spear'. Early texts use names ''Laigen'' and ''Gaile ...

King Of Leinster
The kings of Leinster ( ga, Rà LaighÃn), ruled from the establishment of Kingdom of Leinster, Leinster during the Irish Iron Age, until the 17th century Early Modern Ireland. According to Gaelic traditional history, laid out in works such as the ''Book of Invasions'', Leinster originates from the division of Ireland between the Irish Gaels, descendants of Milesius: Leinster was one of the territories held by the offspring of Heremon. In the 7th century BC, the branch of the Heremonians who would establish Leinster, starting with Úgaine Mór were also High Kings of Ireland and Kings of Tara. Their ascent to hegemony in Ireland was associated with the decline in influence of their Ulster-based Heremonian kinsmen from the Érainn. Aside from Úgaine Mór, other prominent Kings of Leinster from this period who were also High Kings of Ireland were Labraid Loingsech and Cathair Mór. A mythology developed that Labraid Loingsech had horses ears: he spent some time exiled in Transalpin ...

Énnae Cennsalach
Énnae Cennsalach (5th century) was a King of Leinster and founder of the Uà Cheinnselaig sept of the Laigin. He was the grandson of Bressal Bélach (died 436), a previous king. The chronology of Leinster kings in the 5th century is contradictory. He is counted as a King of Laigin in the ''Book of Leinster'' but is not mentioned in the annals. Keating records wars of the High King Eochaid Mugmedón with Énnae Cennselach. Eochaid was defeated at the Battle of Cruachan Claonta by the Leinsterman. According to the sagas ''Aided Néill'' and ''Orcuin Néill NoÃgÃallaig'', Énnae's son Eochu was the killer of the high king Niall NoÃgÃallach. ''Orcuin Néill NoÃgÃallaig'' relates that Eochu killed Niall's chief poet. This led Niall to harry Leinster and exile Eochu. Eochu took refuge with King Erc of Dalriada and later killed Niall on his return from a raid. ''Aided Néill'' relates that Niall's son Fergus avenged his father by killing Eochu.Wiley, Dan M.Aided Néill ''Cy ...

Irish People
The Irish ( ga, Muintir na hÉireann or ''Na hÉireannaigh'') are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Ireland, who share a common history and culture. There have been humans in Ireland for about 33,000 years, and it has been continually inhabited for more than 10,000 years (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). From the 9th century, small numbers of Vikings settled in Ireland, becoming the Norse-Gaels. Anglo-Normans also conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century conquest and colonisation of Ireland brought many English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, especially the north. Today, Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland (officially called Ireland) and Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom). The people of Northern Ireland hold various national identities including British, Irish, Northern Irish or som ...

Irish Clans
Irish clans are traditional kinship groups sharing a common surname and heritage and existing in a lineage-based society, originating prior to the 17th century. A clan (or ''fine'' in Irish) included the chief and his patrilineal relatives; however Irish clans also included unrelated clients of the chief. History The Irish word ''clann'' is a borrowing from the Latin ''planta'', meaning a plant, an offshoot, offspring, a single child or children, by extension race or descendants. For instance, the O'Daly family were poetically known as ''Clann Dalaigh'', from a remote ancestor called Dalach. Clann was used in the later Middle Ages to provide a plural for surnames beginning with ''Mac'' meaning ''Son of''. For example, "Clann Cárthaigh" meant the men of the MacCarthy family and " Clann Suibhne" meant the men of the MacSweeny family. Clann was also used to denote a subgroup within a wider surname, the descendants of a recent common ancestor, such as the ''Clann Aodha Buidhe'' ...
